None from my side, but I don't think that surprises anyone. 4.10 will likely 
require some other updated stuff which may cause deeper trouble in the system 
(e.g. some updated libs). Changing the CMake version will not change anything. 
It's not even required at runtime, so I don't think that will cause trouble to 
anyone.
